Default ET/MPH difference between these two motors??

Same car, different motor.

Motor 1 is 346 solid roller and runs 11.00s@125

Motor 2 is a 408 iron block solid roller ( adding 90lbs to the current 3300lb race weight.


All things remaining equal what would one expect to pickup et/mph wise going from motor 1 to motor 2 and adding the extra 90lbs ???

Ron, you should know better to even post this. Nobody is going to be able to tell you the correct answer cause they probably don't know. They're going to be two different motors, two different tunes, and two different days. Swap them and find out for yourself, which you're gonna do anyway.


BTW, you and Mike STAY OFF THE DAMN INTERNET!!! (I've always wanted to say that )

I'd say if you gain 60 at the wheels, you should be able to hit a 10.7. That's in the heat at SDR though. Cold weather should bring 10.5s or better IMO.
